The tickets have been stolen from stores in the Sacramento and Bay areas of California. He is thought to have distracted clerks at several stores and then made off with the tickets although unbeknown to him he cannot actually cash any tickets after the theft is discovered as they are flagged as stolen and show up on the terminal wherever he tries to cash them.
